The discussion about the EU’s strategic autonomy within the European institutions and Member States has lately become more heated in light of the current geopolitical and economic circumstances.
Considering this, I-Com’s Symposium for 2022 aimed to provide a forum for high-level representatives from EU institutions, research and business organisations, trade and consumer associations and other relevant stakeholders, to take stock of the EU’s initiatives to fast-track the capacity of the EU to act autonomously in strategically important policy areas (digital, green and health).
This year’s Symposium entitled “Fast track to EU Strategic Autonomy. Speed check for digital, green and health”, has taken place on Tuesday 6 December at 17:00 – 19:10 CET, at Avenue des Arts 56, Brussels.
The event involved 3 different panels, each addressing one of I-Com’s areas of expertise.
- Panel I addressed how to reinforce EU strategic autonomy and sovereignty along the value chain for the digital transition. (Click here for the Digital presentation)
- Panel II delved into identifying dependencies to prepare the Union for future health crises. (Click here for the Health presentation)
- Panel III focused on tackling the energy crisis and ensuring energy security in the EU. (Click here for the Energy presentation)
